Need some tools....help.....

[Silversmok3]

I just started my first semester at the local college , and man oh man, did I underestimate the temptation. As I write this in the computer lab theres a girl checking me out. Ive been trying to get away from my 'pickup artist' methods and seeking out a Christian woman God's way, but oh the temptation....its even worse when you know HOW to get a woman's number, because nervousness isnt in the equation.

What tools do yall out there use to make the wait a little easier to bear.Prayer , favorite passages of Scripture,slinkys , anything?

And there isn't a conspicuous Christian group here, at least one I can find.This battle is horrible.

First thing I would do ... is recognize that God intended for women to be attractive to men and vice versa. I know that sounds like asking for trouble, but It's not. Be honest about how you see them, because to start with that's all you can know.

Second, and this will sound harsh, but stop thinking about certain women as anothe phone number to grab. What are they after you've collected the 10 digits?

It all about how we allow our thoughts to be changed by changing our habits of thinking. If you see a woman who looks attractive, perhaps the first thought you should have is "Wow, God sure made a beauty there." By giving the very first thought to God, your more likely to keep God in the thought process. I knowthat sounds cheesy, but it worked for me.

Its not so much of thinking of girls as a number-its a crazy feeling to have the ability to read a woman's body language,and react accordingly when so many guys don't understand.
See,I *know* that God didn't bless me to advance in Him just to throw it away by being conflicted in a relationship with an unsaved girl.Even King Solomon,the wisest conceived man to walk the earth,fell into idolatry indirectly because of his choice in women.

But when you see a hot girl,logic and intellect are the first casualties.And your suggestion of thinking of God during the initial attraction stage is a great idea.Its just that every believer has their *weakness*,and this is mine.When I typed the first post my mind was in a serious state of confusion-heres my mental transcript
'go chat her up,she's making eye contact'
-Fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God
'Its just a friendly chat'
-there is that which seems wise unto men,but leads unto death
'You don't *have* to have sex with her.'
-Do not be yoked with unbelievers..
And so on,and so forth.Back and forth-every idea parried by scripture.
I know this may seem like I'm stange minded ,but I share it to describe how I felt.And it sucked.

Hence why I'm asking for more ammo lol...
